RUMA has it: Rewired User-space Memory Access is Possible!

Summary: RUMA enables rewiring virtual-to-physical memory mappings in user space, exploiting hardware and OS VM support. It rethinks memory as a first-class design knob, boosting array ops, partitioning, sorting, and snapshotting beyond state-of-the-art. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
